Only Looking Out For Self

What do former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a Trump supporter, have in common? They both are trying to obtain or stay in power to avoid going to jail. Additionally, former President Trump allegedly accepted $10 million from the Egyptian government during his 2016 presidential campaign.

The Qatari government allegedly confirmed that “dozens of millions of dollars were transferred to Netanyahu and Avigdor Lieberman as part of their election campaigns.” Trump and Netanyahu are two sides of the same coin. Allegedly, both individuals mentioned above acted selfishly in their “own” interest and Millions worldwide have/are suffering.

What Kind Of America – Chaos Or Accountability

The chaos caused by the widespread levels of misinformation and disinformation in North Carolina about the source of Hurricanes Helene and Milton has put the lives of hurricane Relief Workers at risk. Some Government representatives in North Carolina were forced to leave damaged areas due to reports of threats from armed civilians out “hunting” for hurricane relief workers.” These armed individuals and other disillusioned persons are breaking the law, and they must be held accountable.

Incitement is being used by many right-wing Republicans to intimidate and threaten Relief Workers and others. What’s happening here is an illegal form of incitement that must be modified and strengthened. In short, the incitement laws need more teeth, and again, those who use incitement to fan the flames of racism and hate must be held accountable.

We must remember that Trump’s incitement speech on the Ellipse on January 6, 2021, encouraged the Capitol riots. The violence and thuggery used by Trump’s supporters on J6 were the ultimate and criminal level of INCITEMENT! Some have asked, did Trump’s words at the rally incite violence? Yes, his words did incite violence and yes, people died that day. One might ask, how much nastiness is too much? The answer is that any amount of nastiness is too much. In closing, it’s time to “Dump The Trump.”

What Kind Of Leader What Kind Of President

The United States of America, the leader of the free world, is under a global microscope. Individuals and countries worldwide are watching both our deeds and our actions. The U.S. is approaching a landmark election on November 5, 2024. In the Red Corner, there is former President Donald Trump. He is a proven pathological liar, he is self-centered, he is vindictive, he is disrespecting, and evil. Trump is also the first U.S. president in history to become a convicted criminal (felon); he was found guilty of falsifying business records in connection with a payoff to a porn star in an attempt to buy her silence.

Additionally, a New York jury Trump liable for sexually abusing columnist E. Jean Carroll and awarded her $5 million in a judgment, the jury also found that what Donald Trump did to E. Jean Carroll was rape. He was convicted by a unanimous 12-person jury that found him guilty of fraudulently disguising installments as corporate legal expenses in violation of New York law.

Attorney General James won a groundbreaking victory in a case against Donald Trump and his sons and ordered them to pay more than $450 Million because of fraudulent activities where he “exaggerated his net worth by as much as $2.2 billion in any given year.” Trump seeking the presidency, at the same time, was banned from serving as an officer or director of any New York company for three years. Trump has many other perceived and actual charges not mentioned here. Others in his sphere are also facing legal consequences.

The list of ex-Trump Lawyers who are facing legal outcomes includes Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesebro, James Troupis, John Eastman, Christina Bobb, Jeffrey Clark, Sidney Powell, Michael Cohen, Alina Habb, Cleta Mitchell, and others. Trump told a despicable wicked lie that legal Haitian residents were eating people’s pets. In the midst of two of the most severe hurricanes, Trump lied about the federal government hurricane response.

In the Blue Corner, we have Vice President Kamala Harris. “She always fights for the people – from her barrier-breaking time as District Attorney of San Francisco and Attorney General of California to proudly serving as a United States Senator and the Vice President.” Vice President Harris has fought for the people of California and the United States of America for most of her adult life.

Vice President Harris “has also represented the United States abroad – embarking on more than a dozen foreign trips, traveling to more than 19 countries, and meeting with more than 150 world leaders to strengthen critical global alliances. The Biden/Harris administration “capped the cost of insulin at $35 a month for seniors, cut prescription prices, and improved maternal health by expanding postpartum care through Medicaid.

They passed the first meaningful gun safety law in three decades. Forming a bipartisan coalition, they enacted a $1 trillion investment in the country’s infrastructure to remove every lead pipe in America and make the most significant investment in public transit, repairing bridges, and high-speed Internet in history.” The Biden/Harris administration passed the Bi-parison Chips in America Act to bill chips for our semiconductor industry. There are so many other achievements.

Therefore, if you love The United States, you will vote for the candidate with intellect, foresight, character, empathy, and honesty. It would be best for America if you voted for Vice President Kamla Harris for president. Now, let’s go to the polls and vote.

For The Sake Of The Innocent- Give Me A Leser Evil Please

I read that “A campaigning group called on Muslim voters Monday to punish Vice President Kamala Harris for “overseeing” the Israel-Hamas war and turn out to back Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein instead.” The Muslim groups who seek to punish Vice President Harris by turning out to back Jill Stein are also voting to PUNISH your families here in America and your families back in your homelands. I understand how many Muslims feel about the genocidal loss of life and the devastating destruction of infrastructures in Gaza and the greater Middle East.

I understand your feelings and points of view; however, with known facts as outlined in Trump’s Project 2025, and the horrendously violent statements that regularly come out of his mouth, who will be the greater danger to your families? The campaign stated “We are not choosing between a greater evil and a lesser evil,” you are right, by voting for Jill Stein, you are voting for the ultimate EVIL.

If Trump is elected, he will round up immigrants, both legal and illegal, by the millions and put them in deportation camps. Trump is calling for an extraordinary expansion of the war in the Middle East. YOUR FAMILIES IN THE WAT ZONE would experience unimaginable levels of death and destruction as a result of Trump’s action. He will release the criminals who attacked the seat of America’s legislative power on January 6, 2021. He will permit racist bigoted groups to racially profile and threaten communities of color with impunity?

In closing, for the sake of our people and global humanity, we must engage in “Emotional Intelligent Voting.” With a heavy heart, I will choose A Leser Evil and continue the Fight for Change.

A Response That Can Change The World As We Know It

In retaliation to the expansion of the war against Lebanon, Iran fired more than 180 ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday. The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu swore that Iran would pay for the attack. Globally, many analysts worry is concerning that Israel may attempt to attack Iranian nuclear sites.

United States President Joe Biden said, “he does not support Israel striking Iran’s nuclear sites in response to the missile attack against its people.” Further, President Biden, in calls to the G7 leaders stated that they “supported Israel – to a point.” The G-7, which includes the United States, Canada, Britain, Italy, France, Germany, and Japan, settled that “Israel has a right to respond proportionally.”

Although Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war department have largely disregarded the U.S. recommendations thus far, the State Department spokesman Matthew Miller mentioned that “the U.S. would continue discussing with Israel what form its response to Iran would take.”

Let’s be clear, no one will win if any country attacks nuclear sites. War itself is dirty and pollutes the water we drink and the air that we all breathe; however, an attack on Iran’s nuclear sites in the densely populated Middle East, would have catastrophic consequences through the regent.

The attack on nuclear sites would also release a significant amount of ionizing radiation, resulting in severe burns and fatalities and leading to acute radiation sickness. Long-term exposure could increase cancer risks and cause genetic damage.

The Environmental Impact caused by an attack on nuclear sites would release large amounts of smoke and soot into the atmosphere, potentially leading to a “nuclear winter” scenario. This could result in drastic climate changes, affecting agriculture and food supplies.

The destruction of infrastructure, combined with radiation exposure, would overwhelm medical facilities and emergency services. There would be a massive displacement of people, leading to a humanitarian crisis. The Middle Regent would face long-term economic challenges due to the loss of infrastructure, and workforce, and the costs associated with cleanup and rebuilding. Social structures would be severely disrupted, with long-lasting psychological impacts on the population.

Point of fact, approximately 20% of the global oil supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. This makes it one of the most critical chokepoints for global energy security. Any significant interruption in this supply chain would be devastating to economies worldwide.

The G7 leaders and other interested parties must encourage Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war department to step back from the scenarios mentioned above (the abyss) and, as President Biden proposed, Israel must seek proportionate actions in this very critical situation and this historically critical time.

At the end of the day, we all would want to be on the RIGHT SIDE of history.

If You Want To Know Who Side I am On; Well, I am On The Side Of Humanity (SOH)

I support global peace and personal security for all of humanity; consequently, I will support any one who supports humanity with their Words and their Deeds. It is an accepted fact that every country and all people in the world have a right to defend themselves. However, there is a central question that must be asked and must be answered. Specifically, when does a nation’s or an individual’s action cross over from proportionate legitimate defense to genocidal disproportionality?

SOH is bounded by twin factors of morality and justice for all. Every person on this planet must be protected by international humanitarian laws and have their right to life respected. No nation or individuals can be exempted or be given a license to kill with impunity.

When it comes to protecting human rights, I will never allow IDEOLOGY nor IDIOTOLOGY undermine facts! I am a global Defender of Human Rights, and I will accept all people, ill regardless to race, creed, or religious background, or color. Specifically, those who are willing to adhere to the principles of the Humanist. I believe in a progressive philosophy of life that affirms our ability and responsibility to ethics and equity.

I will not tolerate practices or methods of atrocities that include any of the following: Enslavement; Genocide; Murder; Massacres; Dehumanization; Human Experimentation; Extrajudicial Punishments/Killing; Collective Punishment; Military use of Children; Child Molestation; Human Trafficking; Kidnappings; Unjust imprisonment; Cannibalism; Torture; Rape; Racial, Political, or Religious Persecution; and any other Inhumane Acts.

A Frenemy Of Mine

He Is A Frienemy Of Mine

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu never misses an opportunity to embarrass President Biden and his administration. As far as the Biden Administration is concerned, Netanyahu is what one would call a frienemy, not a true and reliable Ally. Netanyahu has repeatedly dismissed, belittled, ridiculed, or humiliated President Biden in front of the World community. It appears that true friendship, in the relationship with Netanyahu, is just a one-way affair.

At the United Nations today, President Joe Biden said a 21-day ceasefire across the Israel-Lebanon had been “endorsed by the United States, Australia, Canada, European Union, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar.”

At the same time, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the green light for his government to engage with the US efforts, he ordered a massive bombing campaign in Beirut that targeted Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s central headquarters.

Israel’s assignation attempt or murder of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah ended all ceasefire talks between Israel and Lebanon. It appears that sabotaging the ceasefire against the U.S. wishes was intentional. Politically speaking, this action by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu only benefits one U.S. presidential candidate, Donald J. Trump.

How Do You Know If You Are A MAGA Republican?

First, if you supported the insurrectionists, domestic terrorists, and the mob who attacked the U.S. Capitol Building, Capitol Police, and the U.S. Legislative’s terrorization on January 6, 2021, you are a MAGA Republican. If you still have strong beliefs that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, although all responsible sources say its’ a Big Lie, you are a MAGA Republican.

If you believe in the so-called “Great Replacement Theory,” ethnic and cultural replacement of white populations with non-white immigrants that will lead to a “white genocide “, a theory used by several mass shooters throughout the Nation, you are Mega Republicans. If you are an individual who participates in and condones violent political activism, you are a MAGA Republicans.

If you are not alarmed about the Republican party’s racist and violent rhetoric, you are a MAGA Republicans. If you are someone who refuses to accept election results that are not in your favor, you are a MAGA Republican. If you distrust the work of hard-working election workers and are an election denier, you are MAGA Republican. If you are automatically against the rights of people of color, feminists, LBGTQ, and immigrants, you are MAGA Republican.

Lastly, if you are a person who believes that you have the right to control a women’s right to choose, her right to make decisions about her own body, life, and future, without coercion or violence, you are, by all means, a MAGA Republican.

Bump Stock

The conservative Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court have, remarkably, brought together progressive democrats and the nation’s police officers. What brought these two groups together was the Supreme Court’s recent overturn of an ATF regulation of a “bump stock” device that turns a semi-automatic rifle into a machine gun, generally prohibited under federal law. The bump stock device increases the shooter’s ability to kill! As of May 31, 2024, “there have been 225 mass shootings in the United States, resulting in 318 fatalities and 836 injuries.”

Haiti’s, Enormous Wealth Unmasked

Iddeenspeaks to my Melaninated Brothers and Sisters caught up in a man-made internal conflict of divide and conquer in their homeland, Haiti. My question is, how many times and for how long will misguided and conflicted young Black men bring fear, grief, trauma, pain, misery, and uncertainty down on their glorious and beautiful people? There is a better way to re-liberate your beloved Haiti and reintroduce it to your families, loved ones, and other proud Haitian citizens. Haitian people must no longer allow the elements of Delusions, Deceptions, and Distractions to divert their attention away from the intended focus required to bring a higher quality of life for the people.

You cannot continue to allow foreign entities to play an outside game with the intent to obtain control over your inside wealth. First, there is a BIG LIE that must be exposed about Haiti now. First, in 1804, Haiti became the world’s first African/Black-controlled nation when it declared its independence from France colonizers. Did you know that before Haitians liberated themselves, Haiti was, once France’s richest colony?

Haiti was a land long coveted for its riches of sugar, coffee, and cotton, brought to market by enslaved people, but there is more. Remember the January 12, 2010, earthquake that killed more than 150,000 of Haiti’s beloved people? The earthquake also unmasked some sinister secrets that most in the West have known for years.

The earthquake revealed that Haiti has oil reserves the size of Venezuela’s or larger. Moreover, Haiti also has gigantic resources of Gold and rare-earth minerals like Iridium. For many years the world community has labeled Haiti the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and at the time suppressing the news of its abundant mineral wealth.

Foreign nations and wealthy individuals have worked diligently to prohibit Haiti from using its natural resources to promote sustainable economic development benefiting the Haitian people have, in many ways, violated the spirit of United Resolutions 1803, 3171, and 3201. The world community must not continue to blame the victim, Haiti, for its economic underdevelopment.

Facts About Haiti’s Natural Resource Wealth:

Oil and Natural Gas:

Recent findings suggest that Haiti might have some of the largest oil reserves in the world. These oil reserves are estimated to be even larger than those of Venezuela. Close to the Greater Antilles, nations like Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti are believed to sit atop natural gas reserves of about 159 billion cubic feet and oil reserves of about 142 million barrels.

Undiscovered reserves could potentially hold as much as 941 million barrels of crude oil and natural gas, with an estimated total of about 1.2 trillion cubic feet.

Gold:

Haiti is thought to have gold deposits worth approximately $20 billion. These deposits remain largely untapped, but their potential could significantly impact the nation’s economy and improve living standards for its population.

Copper:

The Meme copper mine in Haiti was exploited in the 1960s and produced at least 2 million metric tons of 2% copper1.

Other Resources:

Besides oil, natural gas, gold, and copper, Haiti’s natural resources include:

Bauxite: Used in aluminum production. Calcium carbonate: Used in various industrial applications. Marble: Valuable for construction and decorative purposes.

Hydropower: The potential for harnessing energy from water sources.

Arable land:

Suitable for agriculture

Again, Haiti is poor by design. Historical exploitation, foreign interventions, and political instability have denied Haitians the ability to have sustainable development. Uncovering the potential of these resources will contribute to Haiti’s growth and prosperity and afford its’ 11,724,763 people a livelihood like the citizens of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

All Haitians must realize once and for all, that their glorious nation in the Caribbean is not poor, but very wealthy. The proof is as close as your computer and the internet. It is time for Haitians in the diaspora all over the world, many forced to leave their country, many under the Duvalier imposed fear of death, to work in unison with the majority of those in the country to ensure that Haiti’s natural resources are used to lift its mighty people that have suffered far too long. Haitians suffered many years under French rule and after the revolution, they suffered under the rule of foreign-appointed and/or endorsed dictators who showed the people no mercy, no respect, and no love.

Haitian people must not see the glass as half-empty; contrarily, their glass is truly half-full and growing fuller all the time. Additionally, Haitians have every right to stand tall and be proud of their historical past. The Haitian Revolution, which lasted from (1791–1804), was the only so-called slave revolt that led to the founding of a new nation. Haitians and people of African descent all over the world should be very proud of our Melaninated brothers and sisters on this small Caribbean Island nation for achieving a monumental victory over a powerful oppressor.

Most people throughout the world have no idea about one of the most disturbing twists in the aftermath of the Haitian revolution; that being, Haiti was forced, by France and its Western allies, to pay massive reparations to French slaveholders in order to receive French recognition and end the nation’s political and economic isolation. What a concept, the oppressed forced to pay the oppressor. These payments set back Haiti’s economic development for generations.

Fact: African Americans and our brothers and sisters throughout the Caribbean Islands are still fighting for reparations for enslavement, stolen labor, and brutal mistreatment of our forefathers and mothers in the Americas. 

The French, like most colonial powers, who were democratically ruled at home, had no desire to see free Haitian/African people living and enjoying democracy for themselves. Just as they did in Africa, the French established a system of minority rule while maintaining a state of illiteracy and poverty for the majority of the Haitians. Colonial powers used minorities as allies in their efforts to find economic ways to exert continued imperial control. Light supremacy, a system of minority rule, generally by countrymen/women of mixed race, guarantees the development of an illegitimate apartheid situation.

Jean-Claude Duvalier and many of the elite in Haiti practiced a form of light supremacy (individuals of mixed ancestry). This Haitian problem mirrors Africa’s problem, in South America, and many other parts of the world. Globally, Melanin-Rich people must understand the origin of light supremacy assumed leadership and put an end to these kinds of morally forbidden systems. Africa, Haiti, and other marginalized majorities populations must take their rightful place ruling their societies as they did during the origin of mankind.

The final chapter for Haiti is to clean itself of the final vestige of the psychological effects of the European-French rule. It is a stench that remains in the minds of many of the elites that still participate in the continued disproportionate rule of Haiti. When the Haitians took their freedom from France, physical independence was instantly achieved; however, like most of Africa today, the Haitian people suffered from the lasting effects of colonial rule, and it still affects its people today. This too will end and end soon!

A very sick part of the French rule returned to Haiti on January 16, 2011, in the form of the murderous Jean-Claude Duvalier. He unexpectedly returned a year after the 2010 Haiti earthquake to pick the remaining bones of the Haitian people. Different from former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s brutal kidnapping, Duvalier lived lavishly in France for two decades in self-imposed exile. Duvalier, like many of Haiti’s elite, identified more with the French colonists than the Haitians. President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was punished by Western governments and their Haitian collaborators for simply loving his people.

One of the most atrocious actions of Jean-Claude Duvalier during his 15-year presidency, besides selling Haitian cadavers to foreign medical schools, was his participation in the cover-up regarding Haiti’s resource wealth. It is well known that Jean-Claude Duvalier had verified the existence of a major oilfield in the Bay of Port-au-Prince shortly before his downfall. He is guilty of the continued misery, hardship, and impoverishment of the Haitians; hence, he is responsible for many more lost lives.

Revenue from oil profits will vastly enhance the lives of all Haitians and quicken the economic development of the nation. He must be punished severely for the multitude of atrocities he committed against his people. Duvalier’s actions are no less inhuman, sadistic, and/or reprehensible than those of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein. Saddam used chemical weapons to kill his people as well as thousands of Iranians.

Duvalier used designer poverty to kill thousands of his people and negatively affected the health of thousands more while he maintained the continued support of Prime Ministers and Presidents from around the world. Duvalier did his dastardly deeds without any signs of remorse or regret and the Haitian legal system must punish him to the full letter of the law.

In closing, let us be clear, Haiti’s natural resources belong to the Haitian people period! Haiti’s diamonds and gold, natural gas, and oil reserves could dramatically accelerate Haiti’s economic recovery and enable the Haitian People to become self-sufficient. It would enable Haiti leaders to push for economic independence through trade and industry rather than promised handouts!

U.N. Resolutions 1803, 3171, and 3201 provide Haiti, Africans, and all other states permanent full title and ownership over their natural resources.

More to Come…
